4. The project's title track was written in September 2020 by Dorff and Jack Cassidy. When Dorff played the song for Berry, he immediately connected with the message. He had been through a hard season physically, emotionally and mentally-battling throat cancer and navigating the touring impacts of the pandemic. Hearing and recording the song was part of his journey to find joy again. 

"I love the opportunity I have had to create new music, and it is awesome to look back here at the beginning of a new year and see that for 10, 20, 25 years I have had new music to share. Amazing!" shares Berry.
